7. In It To Win It Love
You guys are in it. You’re not giving up on this. You’re partners in life. You can somehow watch this person throwing up and still want to have sex with
them (much later). You’ve been through it, whether it is losing a job or having a child, buying house or the death of a parent…and they were there. They
were supporting you the whole way through it. You couldn’t imagine life without them.

8. Tragic Love
It ended and it shouldn’t have, unrequited or somewhat one-sided. This kind of love is deeply embedded into your soul, and it passes through you slowly, but
eventually you heal. You will always feel the pangs of this love, but it’s never quite the same as it was before. You know this. Your love would never be the
same if you were to be together again. Everyone knows this. No matter what you do or who you love thereafter, you’ll always remember this person.
Perhaps, in another lifetime, you’ll be together.

9. Your Parents’ Love
Now this can be taken two ways, the kind where your parents love you even if you totally screw up or the love they have for each other. I’m talking about the
latter. Their love isn’t always the best. They’ve fought. They’ve hugged it out. They’ve learned how to make it through their 20s, 30s, 40s and so on…and
you’ve witnessed it all. They’ve made the biggest impression on how to love. It may or may not have messed you up, but it might’ve shown you what kind of
love you’re looking for whether it’s the same or different from your own. From the earliest times we can remember, our experience of love is the love we
witnessed and experienced between our parents, this is what love means and looks like to us. If the relationship was violent, contained emotional abuse or
manipulation, do not be surprised to see these characteristics manifesting themselves in your relationships, until that is, you realise what is happening and fix
it in your relationship. Conversely, if the emotion you experienced growing up was affectionate, positive, warm, selfless and compassionate, these are the
traits you have likely inherited.

10. Unhealthy Love
Many will have that ex. They can’t have you, so they want you. They finally get you, and they either abuse you, take you for granted or simply don’t want
you anymore. It’s a vicious cycle. You may still care for them, because you had a different kind of love before. But it ended and while you may still care for
each other, but it can never be again. Point blank. You’re toxic to each other.

11. Old People Love
The cutest love of all, obviously. Who hasn’t welled up watching two old people hold hands in the park? They’ve been through it all. Even the most garbage
parts about a relationship, they stuck through it. They’re more of a partnership than anything else. They’ve learned forgiveness, strength, perseverance
through each other. It’s a long love. It’s a tragic kind of love because one must always go before the other, but they know that they’d never want anyone else
by their side than their mate.
